CANDIDATE QUESTIONNAIRE

PEKIN CITY COUNCIL

17. What distinguishes you from the other candidates?

Rick Hilst: Did not respond to the questionnaire.

Karen Hohimer: I have many years experience on other boards and committees. I am a lifelong resident of this community (born in Pekin Hospital), and I consider myself to be open to other's ideas as well as being honest and trustworthy.

John Abel: I believe I have the perspective to look at issues from both sides.
I try to be a "half full" councilman
We have enough "half empty" negative opinions around Pekin

David Nutter: At this time I do not know all the other candidates well enough to comment.

Matthew T. Tucker (Tyler): What may set me apart from my colleagues is my set of fresh eyes included with the history I have with Pekin.  Sometimes it takes stepping away from a situation to see it in a clear light. I have seen what other communities are doing and how they have been able to grow and improve.
